Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

A place to put spells when I whana reference them. Makes it easier to edit character to either know these spells or not know them.

Mystic Seals:

~ Binding Claw - Paralyzes a target. Must be drawn below or onto the target.
~ Healing Aura - Mends minor wounds and broken flesh. The more time taken to draw this seal, the more effective it becomes, able to heal faster with more time taken.
~ White Implosion - A holy explosion from within a target. Must be drawn below or onto the target.
~ Mystic Mirror - After the seal has been activated, any magic spell targeting Kanau, instead targets it's user, making the situation mirrored. Kanau now controls the spell the target was before hand. This affect is only temporary. This affect is only temporary. It's time and amount of spells able to reflect, depending how long Kanau took and how intricate he drew the seal. Noted by actual RP attack.
~ Zero Shift - After this seal had been drawn, Kanau changes his stance. Utilizing such powerful speed that, to an observer, it appears that the distance between the two fighters has shrunk inside of an instant. The time he uses to draw the seal is in proportion to the amount of distance needed to be covered. This seal, depending how much is drawn into it, can also depend how fast Kanau moves. He will usually state: Five Shift, Four Shift, Three Shift, Two Shift, One Shift, Zero Shift - each becoming faster than the last. Momentum only becomes a problem if Kanau does not take his time, or gets distracted while drawing this seal. These shifted states act like a Haste spell, so I will explain how each one works below.

----Five Shift: In this state, Kanau is only able to finish the shift spell inside of the same action, and do things that normally require two actions inside of one, except for Grand Seals and Bankai.
----Four Shift: Also able to complete his shift spell inside of the same action, Kanau is able to complete Grand Seals inside of one action. He is still unable to summon and use Bankai inside of one action.
----Three Shift: Once again, Kanau is able to complete the shift spell inside of the same action. He can now summon and use his Bankai inside of one action.
----Two Shift: On this shift, Kanau become hard to trace with normal human abilities, but can still be seen, as he is only a blur. At this point, Kanau may use two low ranking attacks inside of one turn.
----One Shift: Spells that require fusing can now be done inside of one turn, as well as all affects from the other shifts.
----Zero Shift: The most powerful shift, Kanau is now able to finish fused spells inside of the same turn as the shifted spell, his movements become so fast that it's almost beyond super human ability. He is also able to use either a grand seal or Bankai to it's full extent in the same action, as well as prepare for his next action. He can not use a fused spell and a grand seal / summon inside of the same action. He must use either or. He could however use two Grand Seals, one fused mystic seal, one of each ( one grand, one fused ), or three mystic seals inside of the same turn.

~ Holy Shield - Supercharges defensive aura to nullify elemental magics. The number of attacks and types of elements absorbed are accounted for in the time it takes to draw this seal. Temporary affect, time depending on the time taken to draw the seal.
~ White Draw - Rids a target of dark entities. Good vs. possessions.
~ Grutnea - Launch bolts of holy lightning. The amount of which depending how intricate Kanau makes this seal.
~ Doll of Sacrifice - Plant this seal in your body. When you are attacked, the seal will replace you with a small white doll. In turn, you will be safely warped away from the attack. Kanau can only use this seal while he is not under direct attack.

Grand Seals:

~ Celestial Blade - Summon a blade of divine energy from the heavens to slice into the earth. Being one of the stronger spells in his arsenal, Kanau must spend more time preparing and drawing this spell.
~ Sever Blast - Cause your aura to explode around you with holy force. The area affected depends how much time is spent drawing the seal. Anywhere from direct contact, to 50ft.
~ Heaven's Crest - Summon a rune of divine origin to draw in and destroy dark entities. The strength and amount of darkness drawn in depends on the time spent on drawing the seal.
~ Soul Dyne - Summon and use the gauntlet of light to reach into and capture the soul of a target. The target must be within a 20ft range.

Me and a friend were talking about our writing progression since we've been on Gaia. This is the earliest entry I can find by myself. This is mostly to show that yes, everyone started somewhere!

Gaian Name: CadavererusAduro
Character Name: Shizumi Mitsuko
Age: 18 ( 146 in spirit )
Appearance: Mitsuko
Sexuality: Curious
Birthday: May 9th
Parents: Athar Shizumi( mother ) and Cirian Shizumi ( father ) Both have deceased.
Blood Type: Type A
Strengths and Weaknesses: Her determination his her strong suit. She doesn't easily give up, but sometimes, quits too soon. Her curiosity is boundless, and can get her into trouble.
Reason for Joining the shinigami: To find her place in the afterlife, feeling like the shinigami had a calling for her.
Personality: Mitsuko is caring, thoughtful, and determined. Especially when it comes to finding her place in life. Now, she has developed a natural curiosity to the world around her. Tinkering with anything she gets her hands on. She knows there is some greater design for her. What it is, or who gave it to her, is still unknown.
Likes: Anything cute and fluffy, and tearing into a device or dead body she hasn't seen before to learn all of it's secrets.
Dislikes: People who betray or try to hurt her or her friends.
Zanpakuto: It has a rose shaped guard, with a pink sheath, and a darker pink hilt. The sheath is huge, measuring five feet in length. In it's locked form, the blade is in reality the length of the sheath, the same length as a nodachi. The spirit of the zanpakto are in fact twins. They appear together, as if creating one symbol. The first is a phoenix, seemingly rising from the ashes below, wings spread. The other, twin dragons encircling the phoenix, seemingly trying to keep it from rising. Together they look like a Caduceus.

Shikai: Shine, Kenshou! And seek the impure, Fukenkou: When released, the sword splits apart, into two smaller swords, the size of kodachi. Kenshou represents the phoenix part of the spirit. It's hilt starts from the darker pink at the guard, that the sealed form had before, but has a gradation from pink to blue down the hilt. At the end of the hilt hangs a medium blue tassel. It's abilities are much like a quincy's, able to pull spiritual energy from around the blade and into the sword itself. Though, when used, Mitsuko can transfer the energy into herself, healing herself, or into another person, healing them. Fukenkou represents the dragons of her spirit. It looks identical to Kenshou, but it's gradation is from pink at the guard, to royal purple at the tip, with a royal purple tassel at it's end. It's ability is similar to Kenshou's as well. The difference is that when Mitsuko wishes to use the energy absorbed by this blade, she can either swing it and fire shards of this energy at a target, damaging them, or she can strike the target directly with the blade, transferring the energy into them, ailing their strength, giving them sickness.

Kido: Mitsuko, having discovered her natural talent with healing, has studied mostly kido that deal with healing. Once retraining herself with Mayuri-taichou, her kido has expanded to ones that specialize in the use of spirit energy and reitsu.
Squads: Seat 10: Twelfth Division

History:

Before The Winter War

Mitsuko died young from an unexplained disease at the age of 16. Lost and confused as a plus for awhile, she was soon found and sent on her way. Living her life in the north rukongai, she was generally happy, though, she could never really find her niche.

During The Winter War

While the winter war raged. Though, she was never directly affected by it. When she finally did hear about what was happening inside the seireitei, she felt some sort of calling. She applied, and tried to get in. Having failed a few times, she didn't seem to give up, thinking there was some reason she felt like she needed to be in there. Finally, she passed, entering into the academy.

After The Winter War

Having studied along with others, she found it was hard to learn what they had to teach here. One day though, she mistakenly changed the way she was taught to use reitsu for kido. It resulted in the healing powers that the forth normally carry. As she discovered this power, she felt like it took no effort. Those who saw this natural talent that laid within her, helped her to learn more about it. Soon she became a member of the forth division, though, it was only recently that she was instated officially.

During the Song War:

Studying with Unohana-taichou, Mitsuko worked hard at the Forth to be able to learn more. She met other students and seated officers who she became quick friends with. Mika, her first female crush, and Shinku, her first male crush were two that constantly confused what she really wanted. After the siblings attacked, something kept calling to her, as if to sing. It wasn't until later she discovered she was one of the song bearers of legend. Afterwards, she found the secret to unlocking her shikai, and started to help in turning the tables against the siblings. During one of the final fights in the war, she used her zanpakto's abilities to draw in a large ball of energy and fire it at the last of the siblings, ending the war. Though, she was severely hurt, going into a cryogenic freeze at the Twelfth to recover the damage.

After the Song War:

Seven years after being frozen, she was freed. Though, she was unable to leave quiet yet. Though fully healed, her abilities were severely diminished, having been unable to do anything for that time. Luckily, during her stasis, Mayuri had studied her abilities. So he helped retain her, and then some for the next three years. Soon after, she was transfered to the Twelfth. Her experiences there have broadened her curiosity, with no pushing from Mayuri. She has become very fond of him, even calling him Sensei, rather than Taichou.

History:

Before The Winter War

Yoruichi was the former head of the special forces. She was also the first female and the 22nd generational head of the Shihouin family, one of the four noble families, and earned much respect in Soul Society while she was there. About 100 years prior to the Bleach storyline, she helped Kisuke Urahara in his escape from Soul Society and was thus relieved of her high status. Yoruichi and Urahara are close friends; as children, they played together every day under the Sokyoku hill, in the training space that Urahara built when they were children.

While Yoruichi was the special forces commander, she took in Soifon as a guard and became her mentor and friend. She taught Soifon most of the techniques she knew. As a result, Soifon succeeded her as head of the special forces after Yoruichi's escape from Soul Society. During her time in Soul Society, she created many techniques that involve flash steps, and taught some of them to Byakuya.

She first reappears from her 100 years of staying away from battle, when she first appears in feline form, and helps train Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sado to control their powers. Yoruichi leads Ichigo's group into Soul Society when they attempt to save Rukia Kuchiki, and also leads them to Kūkaku Shiba when they are unable to enter through the Seireitei gates. After being separated from the group, Yoruichi collected information on Rukia's execution. She also rescues Ichigo from being injured by Byakuya's shikai and claims that he cannot fight as he is. She then teaches Ichigo the bankai of his zanpakutō. Later, Yoruichi has a battle with Soifon, albeit with some struggle in the beginning, but she easily fends off Soifon once she reveals her most powerful ability. She returns to the human world with Ichigo and his friends.

During The Winter War

Yoruichi, alongside Soifon, later actively begin to pursue the Bount once they learn of the Bount's plan to invade Soul Society, and also saves Ichigo when he is unable to defeat Jin Kariya. Yoruichi also rescued the Bount Koga Gō and took him to the home of Rantao, the Bount's creator, where he was nursed back to health. Yoruichi and Urahara rescue Ichigo from death at the hands of the arrancar Yammy, and later take Orihime to the training room under Urahara's shop to prevent Aizen from gaining interest in her abilities.

After The Winter War

Once the war had ended, Yoruichi returned to the real world, staying with Urahara. She would start to take care of his shop in his absence when it was required back in the Seireitei to battle the siblings. For the most part, she makes sure those who can, battle the hollows while the Seireitei is under siege.

Biography: Chii's family lived nearby the old Al bhedian town on Spira, before Sin destroyed it. During that time, her family's town was destroyed as well. Scattered, her family tried to survive best they could. Her mother was expecting Chii after a few months of becoming nomads. Once Chii was born, her mother became very ill, dying not too long after. Her father took her to Guadosulam, to ask some friends to adopt Chii. Once he had, he soon died as well.

Marik and Belmane, the two who were now taking care of Chii, were not the best of parents. They were in fact guado pirates, stealing and tricking those around them. They included Chii in their schemes, though, she never liked it. This occurred for years and years until one day they had met Hiryu. Marik and Belmane wanted to trick him, but this time Chii refused. She had a crush on Hiryu. They eventually abandoned Chii, who soon joined Hiryu's party, keeping her crush on him a secret for a little while.

Soon, the two could not keep their affections for each other from showing, and started dating. Happily, they journeyed until Kanau and Nemesis, two friends in their party, had to venture off to take on a new threat.

Once Kanau and Nemesis left, Chii decided she needed to get stronger and learn white magic. She left the party in order to do this. She met with Garnet / Dagger - from FF9 and became the greatest white mage in the land during the five years. The training only took three years - the other two, she was traveling under the name Raspulda - whom became famous. So much so, Chii abandoned it, only wanting to see her friends again.

She rejoined them, and settled herself with her old boyfriend, Hiryu. The two go through troublesome times still, but are as happy as ever.

Gaian Name: Cinaeth
Character Name: Yorikatsu, Kanau ( To believe in true victory - written in traditional name usage, with Last name, First name. )
Alias: Masashi, Kenichi ( Splendid official, First builder / Governor )
Age: 410 years ( Looks to be 22 )
Appearance: {Real World} Having Auburn hair and hazel brown eyes. He looks to be about 22. Kanau stands only 5' 8" tall, and weighs about 170lbs. In the Spiritual Realm, he adorns a white Kimono, which is mostly hidden by a black Hakama. The Hakama itself is embroidered with a crimson red starry skyline, trailing from one side of it to the other, horizontally. Around his neck flows a red scarf, when not waving in the wind, it's almost as long as he is tall. At his right is his Zanpakto, worn traditionally. The sheath of his Zanpakto is a leather red, and the guard is shaped as a celtic knot.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Birthday: Feb. 29th
Parents: Makoto and Chou Yorikatsu
Blood Type: Type O Negative
Reason for Joining the shinigami: The Soul Society approached him while he was still very young, those of the research department, especially Aizen, wishing to find how his Seals were developed. His reason now, is to ensure the things he provided to Aizen, never get taken advantage of, again.
Personality: He's friendly, though regrets much of his past, so he tries to keep it hidden. He'll help out anyone he can, and if he sees someone being treated unfairly, he will do anything to help them out. He is loyal to the Soul Society, and to everyone inside of it.
Likes: Relaxing, and visiting the mortal realm. He constantly visits there, for business and for leisure.
Dislikes: Needless slaughter, seeing when justice is not served.

Strengths and Weaknesses: Kanau is fast, his agility being his strong suite. With this agility comes his downfall, of over exerting himself by using higher level Kidos, without taking breaks. He isn't trained well in Kido, so attempting to use them drains his energy much faster than using his sword abilities, which are what he has focused on.

Zanpakuto: In it's normal form, his Zanpakto is like a normal silver bladed Japanese Kitana. It's guard is shaped like a celtic knot. It is about a quarter inch thick, and four foot long. His name is Kumori, Genkaku. This creature when it appears to Kanau, Floats like a thing out of a nightmare. It has a vaguely humanoid shape, but it's a shape without many distinguishing features. Those that are there are distorted and bristles with a hint of madness in it's design. From the waist down, it trails away into vaporous nothingness, leaving a faint trace of fog behind it as it moves.

Shikai: Control, Genkaku - Genkaku, in this form, enabled Kanau to see into the target's deepest fears. He then creates the illusion that their fear has come to life before them. The object of their fear smells, looks, and feels physically real. When used against a Hollow, it pierces into their deepest fear before they had turned. The only way out is to either realize it's an illusion, or overcome the fear.

Bankai: Bakuryūha Tenmei ( Lit.: Karmic Backlash ) His Bankai works similarly to his shikai, where there is a real world, and an illusion world. Unlike his shikai however, the illusion is not based on fear. It is better described as a delusion. This delusion is contained within a 300ft space, that on the outside appears as a spherical field, that doesn't look solid, but does have a barrier. The field, from the outside will look like a giant purple cloud-mass, like a really dense mist. The mist would block all senses of a person looking into it, except for reitsu. The target, or the person fighting Kanau that is now trapped inside with him, would see what he thinks is Kanau's bankai. In the delusion, or what is not real, the bankai would make the person Kanau is fighting believe that he changes into a copy of the enemy, essentially the person thinks he is fighting himself. Though, the person still believes it's really Kanau just trying to copy him. In the delusion, the enemy will actually think he will be winning against Kanau, not easily though. In the real world however, Kanau will be safely away, just watching the enemy fighting nothing. Neither Kanau nor the person are able to leave this field unless the Bankai is canceled. Only by directly attacking the true him, or by Kanau attacking the person under the mist's effects will break the delusion. People in the bankai may also break it if they are able to realize what is happening, and look for the real Kanau, which would be hard, but not impossible since all he has to do is find the real Kanau in the field, while still under the delusion. Being that the people inside really think what they sense in the mist is in fact real, the delusion is able to harm them, and they are able to harm the delusion. Though, they are in fact hurting nothing in the process of doing so, they only think they are. The attacks of the delusion do not exceed what the person thinks is Kanau's ability to copy his own attacks or Kanau's own ability.

The purpose of this is to wear the enemy down, fighting his delusions, until Kanau sees fit to go in for the final strike using his own abilities.

Zanjutsu: After training with his own zanpakto, Kanau learned to look for the Hakusuitosaketsu, or Soul Sleeve and Chain link, along with other critical areas to strike using his zanpakto. He is able to draw upon Genkaku's strength to further his own speed. Combining it with Battōjutsu, or sword drawing techniques, he is able to attack with speed rivaling most other Shinigami.

Hakuda: Kanau knows very little hand to hand combat, therefore, if disarmed, has very little fighting compatibility.

Kido: He controls only basic and median Kido. He focused mainly on his sword fighting abilities, and taming the hollow inside of him. So, he can only use the basic Kido without using incantations. Kanau is also known for developing a type of Kido that is like a third tier under Kido, simply known as Mystic Seals. Kanau must draw the seal either on the ground or in the air, and then is able to activate it, creating the affect instantly. Any attacks done during the drawing time could interrupt the spell. He is able to create the runic drawings from a distance, as in under distant targets. As this is a new practice developed by himself, and his Kido development isn't great yet, he can only modify the basic Kido into seals.

Yatagarasu: Kanau's Hollow, Karasu, resembles a crow. It's bird-like body was black all over with red reverse crescent markings all over it. His face resembled the Hollow Mask that Kanau now carries with him. The mask seems like a white disk, with two oddly shaped slits in it. The slits seemed to be the shape of a diagonal S, with space in it's center for an iris. They both were aligned with the nose part of the disk, which seemed to be an inverted triangle, sticking out just a tad. Below that was a vertical line, that forked into two others, creating some sort of inverted Y shape for a mouth. The cheeks of it had downward cresting red markings, seemingly burrowed into the material itself. One pair of these were set just above where the jawbone might be, and the other, further up, just behind the eye sockets. Yet another pair of these markings were above the eye sockets, coming from the temples. Finally, on it's forehead was a crest of some sorts. It started between the eye slits, and split into two, creating a V shape that continued above the object into two points. The material itself seemed to be made out of bone, but anyone who had seen one knew it was not. It's wings seem vaporous, much like the same vapor that Genkaku is made from, stretching twelve feet across. Below the body extends a single leg, though, when it reaches the anklebone, it splits into three feet, each capable of working on it's own.

Hollow powers: With the increase in reitsu, comes the trade off of not being able to access seals while using the mask. Karasu requests to learn them before he will use them. Being a crow, Karasu grants Kanau with near levitation abilities, the hair on his back seemingly keeping him aloft for short periods. He is also able to use a Sonido, seemingly combining with Kanau's own variation of flash techniques. This makes his Battojutsu much faster. Karasu is also able to see the soul sleep and chain links of his targets much easier than Kanau ever could. Lastly, the hair around Kanau's head acts as a constant illusion, able to change at will into something of the same size as the hair.

Squads: Leader of the Central Forty-six

History:

Living Life:

During the Meiji revolution, Kanau was one of those who worked for the Shinsengumi, adopting their belief of "Aku Soku Zan" ( 悪即斬 - "Slay Evil Immediately" ). He died at the age of 18 during the blood of the revolution, fighting some of the samurai who worked for the Meiji. His death was in vain however, when he had chosen to run from a fight his squad was fighting. One of the samurai saw this and hunted him down, killing him for his cowardice. As a plus, he roamed aimlessly, holding onto the guilt of having abandoned his friends. He continued like this until his chain of fate had almost vanished entirely. That was when the shinigami finally found him to send him. The figure who came is still shrouded in shadows, but what is known to Kanau, is that he had started to change into a hollow. The shinigami wouldn't have it, and forced him to fight the hollow. Their battle raged, until finally, he suppressed the hollow inside of him, and the shinigami sent him to the soul society.

Before the Winter War:

After he been sent, he ended up in the north end of the Rukongai in the 30th section. He began to develop a natural talent that he called Mystic Seals, a side affect to his near hollowification. It wasn't long before that tie let the hollow inside of him start to take over. One shinigami took notice of this, Sosuke Aizen. When Aizen finally found the boy, he was half transformed into the crow that dwelled within him. Being the "caring" person that Aizen was, he helped Kanau fight the hollow once more, removing the mask and sealing it into a box, burying it at Sokyoko Hill. Having seen his powers to create a new type of kido, Aizen took Kanau under his wing, hoping he would show him how it was done, as well as figure out how the hollowification had occurred. Kanau wanted to trust Aizen, but something in his gut feelings about the situation just didn't seam right. Especially when he tried asking what had happened on that day they had met. A final blow was dealt to Kanau's ego as he discovered Aizen had found a new pupil, and had only been using Kanau, using what he had found out to cause all the souls to vanish. Fearing he was too weak to go up against Aizen himself, and too fearful of his own life to expose him, Kanau fled, seeking somewhere to train, so he could come back to beat Aizen.

During the Winter War:

Kanau trained himself at a secrete location, obtaining his zanpaktou and other abilities at this time. He vowed to expose Aizen and his evil intent, thinking he could not do so until he was strong enough to face Aizen himself. For the next few hundred years, he trained himself in his own techniques as well as binding techniques. When he returned to join the shinigami, he found he was too late, Aizen had begun the Winter War.

After the Winter War:

After Aizen had left, Kanau pleaded to rejoin the Soul Society, to lend his aid in finding the person who betrayed them all. They did not completely accept him at first, leaving him in the background, rather then letting him help. Having vowed to take his revenge, Kanau trained night and day. Years went by, and he slowly climbed the ranks in the Soul Society. Having developed his Kido and Seals further since his initial inauguration into the society, and having mastered his Shikai, as well as his Bankai, All that awaits him now is being chosen as a captain, something Kanau had been shooting for, even after Aizen had been dealt with.

During the Song War:

Starting off in his new role a bit shy, Kanau worked firstly to meet the veteran captains. As he reported to Ukitake-Soutaichou, an assignment had already been hand picked for him. To use his seals to save a life. With the help of Urahara, they found a way to do such a thing, by meeting an elemental.

After accomplishing a few feats as captain, it was then the siblings were revealed for causing the sickness in the one whom Kanau had saved. One in particular, Nicholai, seemed to want peace. Kanau didn't mind this, but Ukitake would not have it. After beating Nicholai, whom had held not resistance to the attacks, Kanau decided to help the sibling, rather than watch him die. He couldn't not agree with destroying someone willing to give them answers, especially when they had yet to fight back. Kanau lost his title of captain, and it wasn't until later that he learned he had been tricked.

Upon his exile from the Seireitei, Kanau was approached by the Royal Guard, and asked to serve them. He agreed, but that too would not last long, before it looked as if he had gotten killed in combat.

Meanwhile, Kanau had struck up a relationship with Soifon-taichou. The two carefully hid their interest, even after Kanau had been exiled.


After the Song War:

As the end of the war approached, a new figure appeared on the scene. A man claiming to be known as Masashi Kenichi had come to lend his services, in rebuilding the Central Forty-six. Though some better know him as Kanau's other identity. Hoping to bring order back into the Seireitei, Kanau took on this alias, even going as far to fake his own death, and meet the king. Taking his time to fully secure the old areas with his seal magic, ten years will pass after the song war before Kanau finishes. Until then, little know of his true identity. Even he, longing to see the one he loves, knows that exposing himself too early may ruin everything.

Powers: Once Nemesis' memories are returned, he is able to receive Gaia's blessings ( the same as limit breaks, but for Weapon ), and use one of the Weapon's signature attacks. Usually, he will only use one of these moves if in absolute desperation.These moves can only be used once in a great while.

• Diamond Flash - Diamond Weapon's signature attack. This fills a 100ft radius with earth energy, blinding the targets, and dealing high earth damage.
  
• Ruby Flame - Ruby Weapon's Signature attack. This targets only one person with a high intensity flame, attempting to burn them to ashes by dealing high amounts of fire damage.
  
• Shadow Flare - Ultima Weapon's signature attack. This fills a 100ft radius with dark energy, dealing high dark element damage.
  
• Frost Wave - Sapphire Weapon's signature attack. Nemesis' body becomes very cold, as he blows a gust of frozen air at his targets. Only those in front of him, and out to the sides out to 50ft ( cone of cold-esc ) feel the affects. The air deals ice type damage to them.
  
• Tornado - Emerald Weapon's signature attack. Nemesis summons a mighty wind to blow his enemies back, dealing heavy wind damage to them. It affects those within a cone radius of 50 ft in front of him.
  
• Oblivion - Jade Weapon's signature attack. This issues a non elemental attack on Nemesis' enemies, seeming very chaotic, and stronger than ultima. This only affects targets up to a 150ft radius.
  
• Terra Break - Omega Weapon's Signature attack. This emits a bright white light in the field, blinding foes and dealing heavy holy damage to them. This also affects those targets who are within 150ft.
  

Abilities: Able to Draw Magic from a foe, temporarily gaining one of their spells until he uses it. He can store the spell for only a few days before it will vanish. The sword he uses is imbued with magical properties ( Like Materia, but a more purified form used by the planet ) that enchant itself when given the proper energy and command.

Ray Wind - Channeling his energy into his blade, it gets hotter. Magically enchanted for a short time, the sword is then able to deal a bit more damage then before. This also helps him strike ethereal or incorprial objects.

Elemental Blade - Again, channeling his energy into the blade itself, he is able to augment it with a single elemental property. This is useful for when he faces a foe with a particular elemental weakness. Normally this enchant only lasts for three to four strikes.

Quickening - In this incantation, Nemesis is able to make his sword glow silver. It enables him to respond more quickly, making his actions and attacks faster then before. This only occurs for a short time.

Personality: He is extremely shy, especially when it comes to showing affection. Once he becomes determined, or his eyes change, he turns into an entirely different person. He will risk his life and protect anyone in need, even if only knowing them for a day. Otherwise he is pretty quiet and keeps to himself, mostly trying to search for who he really is.
Biography: There are eight known Weapons of Destruction: Omega, Ultima, Sapphire, Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Chaos and Jade. Since all the weapons had died, their essence merged in the lifestream, creating one super weapon, Dark Nemesis Weapon. Kanau and Tsuki met during this time and banded with the rest of the current party at the time to defeat him. Tsuki for some reason sparred Dark Nemesis when he fell. Soon, Light Nemesis awoke ( Hence forth known as just Nemesis ), and wanted to change his ways. Still a part of Gaia though, he had to protect the planet when it was needed.

That's exactly what happened, again, and again, and again. Tsuki and Nemesis in the meantime had fallin in love, and the whole being bound to the planet thing bothered her. Soon they found out that if there was no threat to the planet, Nemesis would vanish ( Much like Tidus ). This almost happened, but before it could, Tsuki used a spell filled with her love to keep Nemesis' spirit on Gaia, and put him into a normal human body.

Later, after they had been happily traveling together, a threat appeared on Ivalice, one so great, Kanau and Nemesis decided not to involve the party. Together they left, and vanished for five years. During that time, Nemesis somehow got killed and his essence was redistributed back into the seven Weapons - whom laid in rest until recently. Kanau never returned, he did not want to meet the party again without Nemesis in tow, he blamed the whole thing on himself.

Recently, the eight weapons had reappeared - Bijomaru was planning on taking them as his own and using them. They activated because of the threat they themselves could pose to the planet, but without knowing that. Chaos Weapon had always been corrupt, although, Weapon doesn't remember this because of being reborn every time. He sought to resurrect Dark Nemesis Weapon, killing the other Weapons - which he succeeded in. When he had, he planned to kill Tsuki before she could do the same thing she had done all those years ago. He was too late though. Light Nemesis { The one who became human } was also reborn inside of Dark Nemesis' body, and helped fight Jade, along with Tsuki and Kanau.

Afterwards: Nemesis laid beaten and bruised, and once healed, had forgotten everything that had happened. He believed it had only been a year since Tsuki saved his soul. After finding out his memories were not complete, and he could not protect those he loved, he decided to travel and train himself at one of the local schools.

Nemesis Spirit of WEAPON

Gaian name: CadavererusAduro
Name: Kanau
Race: Master Tonberry
Height: 2' 10" (3' 4" if you count his star )
Weight: 38lbs
Sex: Male
Age: Seven ( Mentally in his mid twenties, see biography )
Appearance: {Human Form}{~}{~}{~}{~} Differences: He has midnight black fur, that's very plush soft to the touch, with what looks like scaring in it at a first glance, but with closer examination, is runic in nature, signifying higher magic. His eyes are actually golden with a fiery lacing around the edges of the iris. His robes are crimson, but look as if liquid fire were splashed or painted onto it, the color scheme of it being more dark colored fire, rather than light colored. To most, he would smell like a small household pet. On his forehead is an engraves phoenix-like symbol, with the same sort of psuto scaring look that the runic symbols have in his fur. For the most part, he moved silently, except for the slight metal cling his lantern makes as it swings from his left hand. Lastly, the star above his head is a dull golden color, and despite what physics might have one believe, is actually flat. The star acts as his emotional signifier, letting those around him know what his mood is at the moment.
Weapons: A Dagger that has a blade five inches long, and with an overall length of nine inches. The blade itself has a black center with Kanji written on it, standing for "Dark, Demon, Dagger". He also has a Ornate Lantern. The lantern itself is made from glass in it's center, depicting the shape that blown glass takes when first made inside a furnace and blowing tube. Around it are four Greek-style pillars that hold the lantern glass in it's place, along with the top and bottom of the lantern. On the tops of each pillar is a miniature phoenix bird ever vigilant in it's watch. Metal sides decorate the top of the lantern above the pillars, with runic designs punched through it, making it seem Celtic in origin. The lantern seems to control his Karma and Everyone's Grudge.
Powers: All target(s) must be within line of sight, as in within 200ft, 300ft at the most, for any of these spells to work. As an act of concentrating, and taking time, he is able to call upon a sprite and infuse it's element into a seal, creating a more powerful spell. Kanau can only use one spell at a time, unless he is combining two, which takes more time to do, making him more susceptible to attack.

Karma: A dark purple mist exits Kanau's lantern, the signification of this spell, surrounding the target. He is able to change the mist's direction and viscosity, so anyone who is caught up in the mist, will simply get missed by it if Kanau wishes, by creating a hole where they stand. Any other targets caught in the mist will receive it's affects. At max, Kanau can only make the mist within 300ft. Anything that makes it that far away from him will escape it. If successful, Kanau can see into the target's deepest fear and brings it to life using the mist's illusions. The object of their fear looks, smells, and sounds physically real, but is only an illusion, so therefore cannot physically hurt the target. If the target could overcome their greatest fear, they would pass right through the illusion. Anyone else in the area who sees the attack can only see the purple mist, and not the illusion itself. This will last until one of three things happen: The target breaks his fears, the target gives into the fear, or a 'tie' happens. A tie would be if the target tried to overcome his fear, but wasn't entirely honest, still hiding some deeper fear for it while acting brave for example. If this happens, Kanau can only control the mist for a maximum of 5 minutes.

Everyone's Grudge: A dark blue swirling mist-mass exiting Kanau's lantern, it surrounds the foe, sensing all the misdeeds they have ever done. The more harm the target has caused for self gain, or otherwise, is concentrated back onto the target like a double edged sword. This spell hurts the target more with the more people the target has hurt. Though powerful, this spell cannot kill it's target because of the amount of people they've hurt. The most it can do is leave the target severely hurt, stunned, and most likely knocked out.

Doink: His only physical attack, Kanau jabs at his target when in close range. When using this specific attack style, he is able to aim for one of the nine critical points on the body; Kara Take ( Head ), Kesa Giri ( Left shoulder ), Saka Gesa ( Right shoulder ), Hidari Nagi ( Left side ), Migi Nagi ( Right side ), Hidari Kiriage ( Left leg ), Migi Kiriage ( Right leg ), Saka Kaze ( Crotch ), Tsuki ( Heart ). If the target is hit, they receive heavy damage, so much so, that if not taken care of, they could bleed to death. This attack does have way to block it, though, it is faster then a normal attack.


Seal Magic: Kanau must draw the seal either on the ground or in the air, and then is able to activate it, creating the affect instantly. Any attacks done during the drawing time could interrupt the spell. He is able to create the runic drawings from a distance, as in under distant targets.

Mystic Seals:

~ Binding Claw - Paralyzes a target. Must be drawn below or onto the target.
~ Healing Aura - Mends minor wounds and broken flesh. The more time taken to draw this seal, the more effective it becomes, able to heal faster with more time taken.
~ White Implosion - A holy explosion from within a target. Must be drawn below or onto the target.
~ Mystic Mirror - After the seal has been activated, any magic spell targeting Kanau, instead targets it's user, making the situation mirrored. Kanau now controls the spell the target was before hand. This affect is only temporary. This affect is only temporary. It's time and amount of spells able to reflect, depending how long Kanau took and how intricate he drew the seal. Noted by actual RP attack.
~ Zero Shift - After this seal had been drawn, Kanau changes his stance. Utilizing such powerful speed that, to an observer, it appears that the distance between the two fighters has shrunk inside of an instant. The time he uses to draw the seal is in proportion to the amount of distance needed to be covered. This seal, depending how much is drawn into it, can also depend how fast Kanau moves. He will usually state: Five Shift, Four Shift, Three Shift, Two Shift, One Shift, Zero Shift - each becoming faster than the last. Momentum only becomes a problem if Kanau does not take his time, or gets distracted while drawing this seal. These shifted states act like a Haste spell, so I will explain how each one works below.

----Five Shift: In this state, Kanau is only able to finish the shift spell inside of the same action, and do things that normally require two actions inside of one, except for Grand Seals.
----Four Shift: Also able to complete his shift spell inside of the same action, Kanau is able to complete Grand Seals inside of one action. He is still unable to summon inside of one action.
----Three Shift: Once again, Kanau is able to complete the shift spell inside of the same action. He can now summon inside of one action.
----Two Shift: On this shift, Kanau become hard to trace with normal human abilities, but can still be seen, as he is only a blur. At this point, Kanau may use two low ranking attacks inside of one turn.
----One Shift: Spells that require fusing can now be done inside of one turn, as well as all affects from the other shifts.
----Zero Shift: The most powerful shift, Kanau is now able to finish fused spells inside of the same turn as the shifted spell, his movements become so fast that it's almost beyond super human ability. He is also able to use either a grand seal to it's full extent in the same action, as well as prepare for his next action. He can not use a fused spell and a grand seal / summon inside of the same action. He must use either or. He could however use two Grand Seals, one fused mystic seal, one of each ( one grand, one fused ), or three mystic seals inside of the same turn.

~ Holy Shield - Supercharges defensive aura to nullify elemental magics. The number of attacks and types of elements absorbed are accounted for in the time it takes to draw this seal. Temporary affect, time depending on the time taken to draw the seal.
~ White Draw - Rids a target of dark entities. Good vs. possessions.
~ Grutnea - Launch bolts of holy lightning. The amount of which depending how intricate Kanau makes this seal.
~ Doll of Sacrifice - Plant this seal in your body. When you are attacked, the seal will replace you with a small white doll. In turn, you will be safely warped away from the attack. Kanau can only use this seal while he is not under direct attack.

Grand Seals:

~ Celestial Blade - Summon a blade of divine energy from the heavens to slice into the earth. Being one of the stronger spells in his arsenal, Kanau must spend more time preparing and drawing this spell.
~ Sever Blast - Cause your aura to explode around you with holy force. The area affected depends how much time is spent drawing the seal. Anywhere from direct contact, to 50ft.
~ Heaven's Crest - Summon a rune of divine origin to draw in and destroy dark entities. The strength and amount of darkness drawn in depends on the time spent on drawing the seal.
~ Soul Dyne - Summon and use the gauntlet of light to reach into and capture the soul of a target. The target must be within a 20ft range.
~ Phoenix Strike - Call upon a swarm of fire birds for an attack. The amount of birds depends on how long Kanau spends drawing this spell and how intricate he makes it.

Sprite Magic: The eight Sprites below are elementals summoned by Kanau in order to use their element to create magic. The ritual to summon them with the intent to cast one of their spells takes one action, but once summoned, their spell reacts instantly. After they've casted their spell, the sprite disappears, so Kanau must summon them again to attack again. Each sprite has a different element and different effects, noted below.

Undine: As the water elemental, Undine's spells invoke attacks such as hailstorms, acid showers, tsunamis, whirlpools, bubble effects, and the ability for weapons to freeze opponents into an icy cube. The target only stays frozen for a short time, depending on the target's attributes. Normally the time is about one action. It can't kill the target.
Pygmy: His powers are, naturally, of an earthly persuasion, with such attacks as gem missiles, land mines, rock slides, and earthquakes at magnitude five.
Sylphid: Powers such as air blasts, cutters and tornadoes, they also include the powers of lightning, to suspend enemies in the air temporarily with the wind's force, increasing speed no more than a Five Shift (slowest of the Zero Shift spells), and of sound.
Salamando: Salamando's powers are perhaps the most destructive, sporting attacks like rains of magma, explosions, fireballs, walls of flame, boosting weapon damage, making the sun's heat more intense, and a weapon enchantment that burns opponents.
Lumina: Lumina controls all that which is good: Healing effects that could be casted on any target, with medium healing attributes - More so than Healing Aura, Holy, Light beams, orbs of holy power, barriers against physical attack, and other powers that could be seen traditionally as "divine retribution".
Shade: This shadowy elemental includes powers such as waves of shadow, orbs of darkness, greater control over shadowy illusions than Kanau has, blinding a target, and the ability to dispel any status modifying spells.
Luna: Its powers including temporary transmogrification, and a nefarious Random Magic spell which has surprising and often unpredictable effects. These effects are listed in my journal OOC and given numbers. I roll and see what comes up in the post I use random magic.
Dryad: Her powers, with barriers that reflect magic spells, Cause entangling brambles to grow around a target, cause a target to gain nature's fury - making them go berserk, withering dead or dying plant-life to regain strength, and revive fallen party members outside of combat.

Abilities: He controls shadows in order to create illusions, mostly upon himself to make his form look different. He can also use them to create a secondary form, though, less detailed. Finally, these shadows can open a dark portal, the destination a place of his choosing. This teleport ability can only be used outside of combat, since it's casting time is longer then Zero Shift's.
Crush: Pandora
Likes: Soda, food, flirting, and magic
Dislikes: People who would hurt others, Bees, alcohol, drugs, and fighting.
Weakness: Low Physical Endurance. Because of his size, a physical attack would do more damage if it hit him.
Personality: A loner in the start, Kanau warms up to people on a moderate level. He's very loyal to the people who do gain his trust. He's very insecure about his appearance though. Some have ran in fear, some have thought he is the cutest thing. In either case, he has a nice personality that most overlook.
Biography: Originally born as Aduro, he arrived on Gaia after a spell he had cast had gone horribly wrong. Once he had, Aduro found that he could not survive on Gaia, without shrinking himself and limiting his power. Finding a suitable creature to take a more permanent form as that would be allowed there, he turned into the tonberry, Kanau. After awhile, he met Vincent, helping him along the way. Later, they split up; Kanau joined with Tsuki's group as Vincent went back to dwelling in Shinra Mansion. Still able to manifest into Aduro, he did so a few times too many, he took a toll on Kanau's life, eventually killing him. Having served him as a vessel, Kanau was reborn into a Tonberry egg for his deeds. It has hatched and Kanau has grown up since. The markings on Kanau were created during this time. They developed as he grew up, to signify his connection with Aduro and the phoenix. Still able to call upon Aduro from the summoner's land, he occasionally asked for his help from time to time. Seeking to help a friend, he asked Aduro to perform the same spell that had sent him here onto his friend, who was looking for a way home. The spell went wrong, and it now seems Aduro could be lost forever. The spell had other side affects, giving much of Aduro's minor powers to Kanau. Powers which he has yet to discover and realize his ability to fully control them.
Alignment: Neutral good.
